Chapter 8 Do it on the street, good you Zhang Liang(1/2)
It was early spring that year, and spring had already begun early before the academy started on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The spring breeze turned into drizzle all night, and the sound of snow melting in the imperial city made Li Xiuyuan's hands itch and wanted to carve a rune on the stone wall in the backyard.
The mysterious old man was wandering around somewhere, so Zhang Liang came to No. 47 out of boredom and gave Li Xiuyuan a voucher for selling alcohol.
Xiao Hei traced the words for an hour, and then ran back to the house to take a nap. Just like before, he wanted to sleep because it was spring.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and cursed: "When you go to the academy in a few days, will you sleep in front of your husband?"
Xiao Hei yelled: "We'll talk about it then."
At the moment, Xiao Hei is seizing every day and sleeping whenever he can.
Li Xiuyuan did not make tea for Zhang Liang today. Instead, he sat in the shop in front and poured him a glass of wine.
Zhang Liang looked at him and said, "Didn't I agree that you would help me start practicing in spring? Isn't it already the beginning of spring?"
Li Xiuyuan was startled, then smiled and said: "Not today, let's do it tomorrow."
In his opinion, before tempering Zhang Liang's body, he must make an agreement with him for three chapters. Otherwise, how can he have the time to follow him and deal with it if something goes wrong in the future?
When Zhang Liang heard this, he couldn't help but be happy and replied: "What should I prepare? Do you want to buy some herbs?"
Sighing, Li Xiuyuan said: "Go and buy two big wooden barrels, one for you and one for Xiao Hei to use for bathing in the future."
There is only one bathtub here at the moment. Li Xiuyuan thinks that three people can't use one bathtub, right? It's not like this guy is short of money.
Zhang Liang laughed when he heard this, patted his chest and said, "It's such a small thing, I'll buy it soon."
Li Xiuyuan didn't answer and frowned slightly because three people walked up not far from the store.
The three people who had disgusted him didn't expect this guy to come again.
Is it possible that the two of them are old acquaintances, and are they here to cause trouble for Zhang Liang or to collect debts?
After taking a sip of wine, Zhang Liang saw Li Xiuyuan frowning. He couldn't help but look outside the store, and then also frowned.
"This is for me."
Zhang Liang said quietly: "This guy is like a dog-skin plaster, you can't get rid of it no matter what."
Before he finished speaking, the fat man who had been kicked out by Li Xiuyuan came in with two of his men. He looked at Zhang Liang sitting at the counter and smiled.
"I've been waiting all winter for a reply. Do you want to give me this shop or not?"
The fat man with an angry face shouted: "Zhang Liang, you must know that you can't defeat me in the imperial city."
"Fart, am I afraid of you?" Zhang Liang looked at the fat man coldly and said, "Go to the Yamen and ask, which official dares to seize a house in the imperial city?"
Li Xiuyuan sat quietly at the counter, listening to the two of them arguing.
After all, it turned out that the fat man in front of him had taken a fancy to No. 47, where he was, and had to let Zhang Liang transfer it to him at a low price.
However, Zhang Liang didn't want to sell it at all, and even gave it to himself as a wine shop. He was not afraid that the fat man would have a backing in the government.
The fat man came back just to cause trouble for Zhang Liang, but he didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan actually occupied this place first.
After enduring it all winter without giving up, I came to No. 47 again and tried to stop Zhang Liang and sell it to him.
Today, Zhang Liang was finally cornered here, and he had to get an explanation from him no matter what.
He thought that the master behind him could speak a few words in front of the King of Qin, so why would he care about Zhang Liang, who didn't have much background?
Zhang Liang spent money to buy this shop, and it has the title deed to the Imperial City of Qin.
As long as he refuses to sell, who can force him to move?
"Zhang Liang, I'm going to ask you again today. Please tell me a price. I want to make a reservation for this shop."
The fat man looked at Zhang Liang who was holding a wine glass and shouted angrily.
Zhang Liang raised his head, looked at the fat man, shook his head, and whispered to Li Xiuyuan that the fat man's name was Lu Yuan.
Relying on his ability to pretend to be a god, he actually sneaked into the palace to bewitch the King of Qin, saying that he was going to the fairy mountain to find elixirs and refine the elixir of immortality for the king.
Any sober monk would know this is a scam.
The King of Qin, who was bent on seeking immortality, believed it, so this guy became more and more rampant in the imperial city.
For a time, I don’t know how many merchants’ treasures and elixirs were stolen.
However, Zhang Liang didn't buy his account. He knew clearly that this guy wanted to use his number 47 to secretly refine medicine, but it was not what he wanted because Zhang Liang was not short of money.
And the laws of Da Qin did not allow him to buy or sell by force, so he had no choice but to hold back his anger from winter until now.
After Zhang Liang met Li Xiuyuan, he did not expect that he would make wine. This was the right time and no one could take it away from him.
Lu Yuan suppressed his anger, looked at Zhang Liang and said, "I want to commandeer your yard to make elixirs for the king. Please give me a price!"
"Not for sale! If you are able, go to the palace and ask for an imperial edict, otherwise there will be no need to discuss anything else." Zhang Liang, who was familiar with the law, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and said coldly.
Lu Yuan was so angry that he almost rushed into the store and beat someone up. He was so angry that he jumped on his feet and cursed.
After a long time, he said: "This shop is wanted by the king. You should know this very well. It's just that it's not convenient for the imperial army to come forward, so I have to come forward."
"Really? You asked the Forbidden Army to come to me. My wine shop is licensed and protected by Qin Law."
Zhang Liang put down his wine glass, looked at him and asked coldly.
Lu Yuan yelled anxiously: "You are holding on tightly and making the adults unhappy. Do you really want the king to send out the imperial army?"
When Zhang Liang heard the word forbidden army, he immediately became angry, as if Lu Sheng had touched the creation in his heart.
A face full of clouds.
Lu Yuan changed the topic and said: "We are just doing things for the king. Don't force me to find the chief of the imperial army to deal with you."
Zhang Liang remained silent, but the fierce look between his eyebrows became more and more obvious.
Lu Yuan seemed not to have seen it, but continued: "You also know that an assassin came in the winter and wanted to harm the king. In the end, that guy died on the street, but he made a group of forbidden soldiers live in peace!"
At this time, Zhang Liang had already clenched his right hand into a fist.
"Either you find the man behind the assassin, and I can intercede for you, or you sell this shop to me, you choose one!" Lu Yuan acted rogue.
Zhang Liang replied coldly: "You are going around just trying to use the king's hand to kill me!"
Lu Yuan was stunned, but he didn't expect that the guy in front of him would see through his ruse.
He couldn't help but said with a gloomy face: "You really don't know how to praise me."
Zhang Liang shook his head, looked at him and replied calmly: "My small shop is nothing to the king! You shouldn't use this matter to pressure me."
"You might as well go to the imperial city and find out who Zhang Liang has provoked or been afraid of?" Zhang Liang was already on the verge of going berserk.
Lu Yuan was startled when he heard this, and then shouted: "You are thinking too much, this world belongs to the king, where are you going to hide?"
Zhang Liang sighed and said, "So you want to test my temper?"
Lu Yuan looked at Li Xiuyuan who was silent and continued to say to Zhang Liang: "Yes, anyone with some status in the city can come and bully you now."
Zhang Liang couldn't help but said, "If you die on the street, will your master collect your body for you?"
The fat on Lu Yuan's face trembled with anger, and he pointed at him and cursed: "I am loyal to the king, who dares to harm me in the imperial city?"
Zhang Liang was silent for a long time after hearing this answer, and then slowly raised his head.
Pointing at the sky, he said: "I happened to have learned some mathematics and got a glimpse of some secrets. Do you want to know?"
Fatty Lu was stunned for a moment. He suppressed the annoyance in his heart and said, "You are just dreaming. I have practiced hard for decades and I dare not say that I have spied on the secrets of heaven."
Zhang Liang looked back at Li Xiuyuan, pointed at Lu Yuan and said with a smile: "Brother, my ability is limited. I can only see that he will flee from the imperial city in less than ten years, and then there will be no place for him in the world!
"
"Zhang Liang, you fart!"
Lu Shengxin stared at him and said: "It seems that you have been prosperous in the imperial city these years, and you have long forgotten how to write the word awe?"
Li Xiuyuan, who had been silent all this time, smiled, looked at the half-cup of wine left in Zhang Liang's hand, and said softly: "Absolutely, it's only a few years."
Lu Yuan was furious and said to the two followers behind him: "Beat him until he's dead!"
Before he finished speaking, two followers in black rushed towards Zhang Liang.
"Come on! Speaking of fighting, who am I, Zhang Liang, afraid of?"
Zhang Liang shouted and rushed out of the store. He stood on the street and said to Lu Yuan, "This is your first move. Don't blame me for not knowing the importance of my move."
Seeing Zhang Liang rushing out of the wine shop, the two men in black rushed towards him and chased him down the street. Before Li Xiuyuan could say anything to stop him, someone was already howling on the street.
The two men in black were cursing a moment ago, wanting to take out Zhang Liang's anger on their master's behalf and beat him to death to satisfy their hatred.
Unexpectedly, in just a few breaths, he was knocked to the ground by Zhang Liang's punches. Instantly, his head was bruised and bleeding. He held his head and howled on the ground, calling for help from his master.
Lu Sheng was so frightened that he dared not step forward. He trotted all the way to the tree opposite Xianlai Wine Shop, waved his hands and began to curse.
"Zhang Liang, you...you are beating someone in the street, I can sue you!"
Even so, Lu Sheng only dared to curse a few words from a distance. Li Ben did not dare to drag the servant who was lying on the ground because his legs were trembling.
Originally, he was a useless scholar, but he didn't expect Zhang Liang to have brute strength.
It's effortless to fight one against two.
